    Once upon a time, a little fish lived in a pond. But she wanted to go to the forest. The pond was deep, and high banks keep it from the view of the forest. Wanting to see the forest, the fish would jump out of water now and then, reaching 1 over the pond with the strength of her tail. It seemed to her that, with a little more effort, she could fly, but unfortunately each time she would fall right back into the 2.

    The fish's mother—a big fish with kind eyes would 3, “What would you want the forest for? We fish must live in water, and that is the way it is.”

    The fish would answer, “I want to go to the forest and that is my 4. And it must come true.”

    So she went to the little fairy(仙子) who had been friends with her for her whole life and pleaded(恳求), “Oh little fairy! I have been living in the water all the time. Now I am 5 my small world. I want to see those big trees covered with beautiful flowers, leaves and fruits. I want to meet 6 and animals.”

    To make her friend happy, the little fairy swung her little wand(魔杖). The rain started falling on the earth, and a few days later, the forest around the pond was covered with water,

    7 the small pond into a lake. The fish swam to the forest. How 8 it was! The fish was very excited because her dream would come true soon.

    “Hello,” the fish said to the flowers and the trees. She 9 on and saw animals sitting on fallen trees which were sticking out of the water. But as soon as she swam closer to the trees, she saw that all the animals were very sad. “We are without 10. The water has flooded the whole forest,” the animals told the fish 11. All this made the fish very unhappy.

    “I am 12 with this rain but my friends—trees and animals are quite unhappy. Oh little fairy! Please 13 the rain. I will go back to my pond. I will be more pleased when trees, animals and birds are happy,” pleaded the fish. The water began to 14 , and the animals were very glad and ran off, and the fish 15 to the pond and she was happier than ever before.

    The art of happiness is to serve all. To be really happy, we must think not only of how we can help ourselves, but how we can help others.

    Long long ago, there was a swan（天鹅） with golden feathers（金羽毛）. She lived in a lake. A woman lived in a small house1the lake with her two daughters. They were very poor. They worked hard all year round, 2 still, they lived a hard life and sometimes they even didn't have enough3to buy food.

    The swan was4to see that. She said to herself, "I'll give one of my5to them each day, then they can live a happy life with the money selling my feathers." That evening, she6to the poor woman's house and left a golden feather on the table without saying7. From then on, the swam came every day and gave them a feather. The woman was very happy because their life was much8 than before.

    But day after day, the woman became greedy（贪婪）. She said to her9."The swan may fly away one day. If so, we will be poor again. We should take all10feathers when she comes next time."

    "Oh, no, Mom!" cried the daughters, "This will11the swan. She helps us a lot!" But the mother wouldn't listen. When the12came as usual, the mother caught her and took all her feathers. But suddenly, the golden feathers13chicken feathers. Then, the Golden Swan said, "Poor Woman, I came to14you, but you wanted to kill me. Now, I am leaving and will15come back. Never be greedy!" With these words, the swan flew away.

    This is a story about a famous scientist. After reading it，you may know what made him 1 from others.He said all his success came from an experience that happened2 he was five years old.At that time，he tried to take 3 bottle of milk away from the fridge.However，the bottle 4 and the milk was all over the kitchen floor.

    When his mother came in，instead of shouting at 5 ， she said，"Ben，what a great mess you have made!I have never 6 such a big puddle of milk.Would you like to play in the milk 7 a few minutes before we clean it up？

    Actually，he did.After a few minutes，his mother said，"Ben，you have made a mess like this，8 you need to clean it up.9 would you like to do that？With a towel or a mop（拖把）？"He  10 the towel and they cleaned up the milk together.

    Then his mother said，"You were not able 11 a big milk bottle with your small hands in the kitchen.Let's 12 the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without  13 it."Finally，the

boy learned that if he held the bottle with14 hands，he could carry it and it wouldn't drop.

    From then on，the boy knew he didn't need to be afraid15 making mistakes.It was more important for him to find a way to correct the mistakes.

    People in a town once went hungry. A rich man who made bread and cakes invited twenty of the 1 children, and told them to take a loaf (条) of bread from a 2 every day till the hard days passed.

    The hungry children came together 3, and argued for the bread, because each wished to have the largest one. Finally, they went away without even thanking the good gentleman.

    But Gretchen, a poorly-dressed little girl, did not argue or 4 with the rest, but remained standing quietly far away from them. 5 the bad-mannered children left, she took the smallest bread, which was alone left in the basket, kissed the gentleman's hand, and went home.

    The next day the children were as bad-mannered as before, and poor shy Gretchen 6 a loaf hardly the size of the one she got the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the loaf open. Many new shining pieces of 7 fell out of it.

    Her mother was very surprised and worried, and said, "Take the money back to the good gentleman at once, for it must have got into the dough (生面团） 8 mistake. Be quick, Gretchen! Be quick!"

    But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's 9, he said, "No, no, my child, it was no mistake. I had the silver pieces put into the smallest loaf to give you. Always be as satisfied. quiet, and 10 as you now are. Go home now, and tell your mother that the money is your own."

    There was once a bad king. All the people hated him. One day in a summer he was swimming alone in a1. The king was good at2, but he suddenly (突然) fell ill when he was in the middle of the river. He cried out, "Help! Help!" At that moment two3_were nearby. They4ran there and jumped into the river and saved him. They didn't know that he was the king before saving him.

    The king was5, so he said to the farmers, "You saved my life. Now you may6anything, and I'll give it to you." The younger farmer said, "My daughter is ill. Please send her to a good7" The king promised to do so. Then he asked the older farmer."8can I do for you, old man?" The older farmer9for some time and then answered, "You can do a very important thing for me. Don't tell10we saved you."
